i sat down with chris while covering the inauguration earlier this week in d.c. and we begin with his thoughts on president obama's inaugural address. >> i think that the president has certain things he wants to get done and certain values that contribute to that, but i don't think it's meant to be a comprehensive speech, but i think he wrote it himself, a lot of it. and i think he put it on a legal pa. i thought important the part about foreign policy. we've had situations in the past where we had wars with countries and then ended up being their friends. why don't we start being friends. to me, it was all about iran. there is only other country we're thinking about going to war, with it's iran. why fighting the people of iran? why kill a bunch of people iran because we don't like their nuclear program? he wants to avoid that. robin wright says if we don't take advantage of the weapon between now and when they weaponize, we will never have peace with iran it will be endless war with that enormously important country which could shake every part of our world. >>

president obama sitting down to outgoing secretary of state hillary clinton. isn't it amazing how far we have come, they have come? how up likely was this pairing, if you will, given the primary fight we saw four-plus years ago to see these two and have this almost -- like you said it is a thank you to her almost to sit down and do this interview. >> i remember covering 2008 campaign and remembering senator obama saying you are likable enough, hillary and hillary clinton saying shame on you, obama. and to see this thank you from the president to one of his biggest political figures in america was incredible. whether it is burying the hatchet or one last sit down with political ally who used to be a political enemy. either way, it's pretty incredible. it gives me a little whiplash. it gives hillary clinton just the kind of exit she wants from leaving the state department, especially if she is considering a run for the white house in 2016. >> i forgot that moment where he said you are likable enough. it did get nasty. no matter what hillary clinton does day in a
